...really now - does a player like Maroney even belong in the FA pool to begin with?...truly RIDICULOUS!...SNAKE He is ranked between 40 - 60 in most redrafters. You could very easily have 4 of 5 better RB's at this point in the season.

I sucked up the past two 0"s and didnt drop him, but aquired LANCE MOORE and thinking of starting him over CRAYTON..... THINKING????

Crayton absolutely SUCKS!

I had him last year when he was worth SOMETHING, but still, you couldn't ever predict when he would get 30 or 3.

Truly is better in the DC format, but this year, really isn't worth much at all!

Actually ... Buckhalter was available in the same league ... he went for $800 ... we got Maroney for less. The second high bid was $313 ... couldn't have been that special as at least 3 other bid more for Buckhalter (should be on the list too? not )

3RR, KSD, PPR, ½ PPR RB’s are all great rules that add balance and more control to this game. Their is one more area of this game that needs to be fixed.

We (NFFC) need to fix the FA system from blind bidding to eBay style bidding.

I am sick of guessing what others are going to bid. Like you guys know what your doing anyway

The way to assure that the person who is willing to spend the most for a free agent gets the FA … is eBay style bidding. The reason eBay uses auction style is because it brings in the most money. If blind bidding did … eBay would use blind bidding instead ... Trust me ... they are not leaving money on the table.

Bids would go up … and we would no longer play the game of what will others bid for this guy.

It's a Dumb game.

Instead … it will be … what is the max dollars this FA worth to me (without automatically giving that amount of money if no one else wants him … you would get the player for ONE more dollar than the second highest bid). If we were holding this in person … there is NO way we would be putting numbers in a jar and having the biggest bid win the player … we would have an auction and the guy willing to pay one more buck than the last would get the player (like the NFFC auction draft).

Why ... because it is the BEST WAY.

This would truly make FA’s like an auction … not a guessing game. It makes no sense why we don't auction players off in FA ... like in an auction draft or eBay.

Anyone disagree? Certainly worthy of consideration! The bids could go on all week...it would be fun seeing your bid leading, but knowing it will probobly shoot up as the days go on. I like it!

BTW, I have noticed that a lot of folks on the board like to jump out and fight any change that is proposed. I am not sure why they are afraid to give ideas a fair hearing. This idea deserves reasonable discussion!

Snake what round would Maroney go if the draft was today, after Morris. This doesnt shock me and as the weeks go on more will cut him.
